The Story of Curtis Brooks
Curtis Brooks has been on the A&E Program: #kidsbehindbars
He was incarcerated at age 15.
On April 10, 1995 in Aurora, Colorado, 15-year-old Curtis Brooks was one of four teenagers involved in the death of Christopher Ramos as they tried to steal his car. As a result, Curtis was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
After 23 years in jail, Curtis was granted a resentencing. He spent a total of 24 years behind bars. This happened because the US Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to hand out such lengthy sentences to juveniles convicted of murder. Curtis did not fire the shot that took the life of the boy. There are all kinds of nuances associated with his case, readily available on the Internet.
The subject of this interview is to show what Curtis' life is like after Prison.
Curtis Brooks has done well for himself. Since being released on July 1, 2019, he lives in New York State's Capital District, is now married, has bought his first house, and is now in Sales. This is his story, as told by Curtis himself. This has an emphasis on what he considers to be his mission in life. I think you'll find it heartwarming. He really has the right attitude.
This is a special edition of 'The Bow Knows Who is Changing the World'. It was my honor to speak with Curtis where he now is employed in Cohoes, NY.
